Ask your County extension office what they think.
When I lived in So Cal my citrus trees hated the super alkaline soil - so consider using a something like Miracid (by Miracle Grow).
Inconsistent watering, heat, too little fertilizer, and more can be the cause.

Right now my trees are ok, but I have had that too in past years. Blazing hot here in summer and they obviously did not get enough water. I wouldn't cut it down just yet. They can fruit for decades, it is worth trying to achieve the right balance before giving up.
Citrus need high acidic soil,drench thoroughly letting them dry out thoroughly between watering.All the citrus groves here do flood irrigation. Citrus here in AZ did not do well this year due to it getting too hot already in 100's in March,no blooms. Here's an article it is for a potted Meyer lemon but has good info. on size and dryness of fruit. Citrus trees do live a really long time try to save it.
Make sure that it gets all of its vitamin and minerals. When potting or planting your tree, it’s beneficial to mix in some citrus planting mix with your natural soil.
Also, to give your tree an extra boost, give it some citrus fertilizer! Give your tree two tablespoons of fertilizer three to four times per year. Once in the early spring, once in early summer, then again in the late summer and in the fall. Space out your fertilizing by about four to six weeks.
